Fallout 76 Announced

The last game from Bethesda's post-apocalyptic action role-playing game series Fallout was Fallout 4 and it came out in 2015. People were looking for a sequel for some time now and turns out the developers were also preparing themselves with one. After teasing of a possible new entry to the series for a day on various social media, today, Bethesda have finally announced Fallout 76, the next installment from one of their most popular action RPG franchise.

Fallout 76 Announced

Before we go further, take a moment to check out the official teaser trailer for upcoming Fallout 76 from Bethesda Game Studios.

Seems like the developers have made good on the hype they were creating for some time with this latest trailer. Even though the clip does not reveal a clear concept of what crisis are we going to deal with this time, we assume this is when all fights are ceased and probably, it will focus on rebuilding civilization. Vault-Tec mascot Vault Boy signs can be seen in almost everywhere and the video ends with some sole survivor putting on a light blue jumpsuit that marks the number 76 on it.

Fallout franchise takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting where you are struggling with survival issues and have to lead the game's main protagonist to find their way into the irradiated wasteland Earth has become following "The Great War". Past games from the series were all commercially successful and Fallout 4 among them was able to gain some critical acclaim as well. We can only assume that Bethesda got good with their craft over these years and Fallout 76 will follow its predecessors.

Apparently, Fallout 76 is still under development from Bethesda Game Studios in Maryland and we will get to know more about it at E3 on June 10. Still awaiting a release date, the game is expected to release on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Many have speculated that all that teasing earlier was for a remastered version of Fallout 3 or a brand-new sequel to Fallout: New Vegas, none of which was the case after all. Taken cue from John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" song, we believe the game will be set in West Virginia.
